Belmont taking on the undead in an action platformer with multiple paths and playable characters.

Gargoyle’s Quest II: The Demon Darkness (Capcom, €4.99 / £3.49) – part of the Ghosts ‘n Goblins franchise, and originally released for the NES in 1993, this is another prequel and features exploration of an overworld map with sidescrolling action sequences.
